G(not) and G

Postby Johnathan Smith 1D » Sun Feb 23, 2020 10:16 pm

What is the difference between G(not) and G?

G(not) is the standard Gibbs Free energy. So it's the energy in standard conditions. (1 M, 1atm, 25 degrees Celsius)
G is Gibbs Free energy in other conditions

Is it correct to say that G(not) is used at equilibrium (K value) and G is used for other conditions (Q value)?

In addition to all of the above, the relationship between G not and G can be seen in the equation G not= G+RTlnQ.

Isn't the equation G = Gnot + RTlnQ ?

G(not) is at standard conditions whereas G itself doesn't have to be at standard conditions.

G(not) represents standard Gibbs Free energy.

G(not) is at standard Gibbs free energy, thus it is under standard conditions, unlike G.

Yes, it should be delta G = delta G(naught) + RTlnQ.

In problem 5G.13 you calculate the delta G of the reaction at equilibrium and then use whether that value is positive or negative to see which way the reaction will proceed (towards reactants or products), but if the reaction is at equilibrium doesn't that mean the reaction is going both ways at the exact same rate and would therefore favor neither direction?

Yes for the most part.

Yes this is essentially correct to say

G9not) is under standard conditions whereas G is not and G(n0t) will contribute to the value of G

Naught always means 1M of solution or 1 atm at 298K (same as 25 Celsius)

Gnaught will be under standard conditions, which are 1.0M, 1atm, and 25C.

Whenever there is a ⁰ on anything (G, H, S), it means that that process is in Standard Conditions.
